Yoga for Every Body

If you can breathe, you can do yoga! In our culture, there is a misperception that yoga is all about fancy poses. Like doing a one-handed handstand or twisting your body into a pretzel.

In reality, the physical practice of yoga (asana) is only a fraction of the practice of yoga. Being a yogi means knowing how to listen to, respect, and honor your body. Our yoga classes emphasize hearing your body’s “voice.” Everyone has a different body, so every yoga student needs to approach asanas differently. There is no universal “right” way to do a pose, and no judgment. You can go into child’s pose at any point during the practice if that’s what your body needs.

We teach every student to “stay on their own mats” and not compare themselves with others, or what they “used to” be able to do.

Classes are ALL Level unless otherwise noted and options will be provided based on individual needs. Use of props is encouraged. Not sure where to begin? Let’s chat!

A restful, calming class including breathing, flowing movements, passive, and supported poses. This is a perfect class for those new to yoga, as well as anyone who is working with injury, has limited mobility, or is seeking stress relief and an overall sense of well-being.

A flowing, dynamic yoga practice that cultivates presence by connecting movement with breath. This class balances effort with ease, and poses are performed at a steady pace to build endurance, flexibility, and strength.

Meditation is a life-transforming skill that can help improve your overall well-being by developing inner peace, compassion, and understanding. During this 45-minute class, you will explore using basic mediation techniques to cultivate greater awareness, become more focused and attentive, and be better able to handle life’s ups and downs.

This playful class encourages self-expression as well as building social skills. Children will strengthen their bodies, sharpen their focus through breathing and relaxation techniques, and sing, draw, and play in this energy-releasing class.

Children will learn breathing and visualization techniques to improve focus as they increase strength, flexibility, and coordination. They will also practice self-respect and respect for others through fun and challenging poses, partner and group poses, and yoga games.

Yoga postures and philosophy are used to build inner and outer strength, confidence, and flexibility. Breathing exercises, flowing sequences, balancing poses, and deep relaxation provide mental and physical benefits while helping teens develop a healthy relationship with their bodies. Partner and group poses and playful yoga games are incorporated.

This class promotes self-confidence, awareness, and control while helping to build strength and flexibility with physically challenging postures and flowing sequences. Visualization and breathing exercises for balance and concentration can be applied to everyday situations. Partner and group poses and age-appropriate yoga games are included in every class.
